Windows 7: Feedback through headphones, but sound through speakers

My headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, and I hear the typical buzzing you hear when your headphones are plugged in. But no sound is coming through them, only through the speakers.

Sound out of Speakers, not headphonesOn my brand new Asus laptop, I have not been able to figure out how to get sound out of my headphones when I plug them in.
